Buildings have extensive direct and indirect impacts on the environment. During their construction, occupancy, renovation, repurposing, and demolition, buildings use energy, water, and raw materials, generate waste, and emit potentially harmful atmospheric emissions. These facts have prompted the creation of green building standards, certifications, and rating systems aimed at mitigating the impact of buildings on the natural environment through sustainable design. From the 1990’s the push toward sustainable design increased with the launch of Building Research

Establishment & Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), followed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) who also developed and released criteria aimed at improving the environmental performance of buildings through its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system for new construction, existing buildings and entire neighborhoods.

Their major purpose of these is to improve public health, safety and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings through the use of building concepts having a reduced negative impact or positive environmental impact and encouraging sustainable construction practices in the following categories:

• Planning and design
• Energy efficiency
• Water efficiency and conservation
• Material conservation and resource efficiency
• Environmental quality

Our Green Certification programs includes:

• LEED - Homes, Neighborhood Development, Communities, Cities, Existing Buildings, Operations and Maintenance, Commercial Interiors, New Construction
• Edge - Homes, Hotels, Education, Retail and Hospitals
• Investor Confidence Project,
• ParkSmart,
• WELL,
• GRESB,
• PEER,
• TRUE and
• SITES.
